Background

About Defne Inceoglu

Hello! I am a Toronto-based non-profit professional and fundraiser. I have interdisciplinary experience, primarily across the arts, disability and healthcare sectors. Currently I am the Manager, Fundraising, Development & Donor Engagement at Surrey Place, overseeing the organization’s diversified fundraising initiatives. I am on the Board of Directors at Open Studio, and the Chair of their Fundraising Committee. Previously, I worked in and for various cultural institutions in Toronto like the Textile Museum of Canada and the Royal Ontario Museum. I have a Master’s degree from the University of Toronto in Museum Studies (Information Studies), during which I was the very proud recipient of a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council – Canadian Graduate Scholarship. I have worked as a freelance graphic designer for over ten years, and I have a small but consistent practice as a textile artist.
